I'm caring for my mother, who's 86. After a fall and hip fracture Ha-eun can no longer manage alone. A nursing home would cost far more than we have, and Ha-eun desperately wants to stay at home. I work 25 hours a week and have cut back to look after her, but we need a part-time carer. Ha-eun worked all of her life as a shopkeeper, and raised 2 children. Now we're trying to give some of that care back. Medication, a hospital bed and a carer for six months will make a huge difference. Funds cover the carer's wages, medicines, a hospital bed rental and incontinence supplies. Where the $1,600 goes: • Hospital bed and mattress rental: $360 • Mobility aids and bathroom adaptations: $660 • Medication and prescriptions: $580 Every share and every dollar helps. - Mi-young
